THIS number will be of interest as showing the varied activity of the
students within the walls of the School building.

To the thoughtful observer the value of such affairs as described under
the head of "The Literary Societies" will be apparent. The exquisite
decoration of the rooms, by which they are transformed from bare, cheerless
class rooms into charming reception rooms, forms an object lesson to each
student which will be indelibly impressed upon his mind and serve him in
good stead when later on in the Association to which he goes, the question
of decoration will be brought up with reference to New Year's day or other
special occasions. The ingenuity displayed in the entertainments also is
more than suggestive to the student. It teaches him to dare to do untried
things. He is stimulated to be an originator rather than a copyist. There
being two societies in the School, a wholesome rivalry exists, placing them
on their mettle to do their best.

THE students are availing themselves of the help afforded by the
School Library as in no previous year, but the repeated applications for
certain reference books show how many additions in this line are needed.
We hope another year to obtain an appropriation that will enable us to add
a few needed books each month. The following are recent additions: 104th
Report of Regents of University of New York, 3 vols., gift of publishers;
Sacred Hours with Young Christians, Bishop Hott, gift of Rev. L. H.
Shuey of Dayton, Ohio; Latin·English, French.English, and German­English
Dictionaries; An AccQunt of the Societies for the Reformation of
Manners in England and Ireland in the 17th Century, first edition 1699.
